I would assume not either, only on the basis that the width (wheel outer to outer) of both the front and rear axle on the Type R is a fair bit greater than the standard car. As the extra width isn't achieved by just wheel offset then the suspension must be wider to accommodate this meaning it's likely that the ARB will be longer front and rear.

I'd be interested / concerned to see how it would handle a few bumps on curves near me; One of which is on a high speed sliproad. I'd rather not have a tail chucking liability, however, at the same time, when testing limit handling and in general feel I'd say the rear could be doing more in the corners.

sorry, been busy faffing with the eventuri, and cleaning the mucky thing.
looks like the shocks have to be dropped.
plan a failed, not as straight forward to install as i hoped as the spring is in the way.
plan b should be tomorrow, gonna jack whole back end up to hopefully get some play on the springs. (apparently someone managed it this way)
worst case ill have to undo the rear shock and lower it a bit.
last time i only had one side up with the wheel off and a spring compressor that kept slipping.
was considering not to bother but being in colchester with all the roundabouts convince me to persevere with it.
these are some factory prototype pictures that hardrace sent me.

All fitted this morning, here is those measurements.
Turn in, power out and obviously the understeer have all improved.
Bump wise, still not butt clenching like my fn2 was.
I’m happy with it and glad I persevered with it.
As long both sides of the car are off the ground and you have a small pry bar at hand, easy install.

Hi all,
Has anyone used low viscosity brake fluid on their Civic ? I have some ATE DOT 4 SL 6, ready to change the brake fluid on a 2014 1.8, but wanted to get other people's experience of using this or similar fluid before going ahead.
Thanks, Peter.(y)

Hi just asking if anyone knows the size of plastic push pin/rivet which holds the deflector to the car.Not sure if deflector plate is the right name but its located both sides of the front of the car in front of the front wheels.I did order some plastic rivets off e bay but they were too narrow.

I've seen that 8G Civics have The Definative aftermarket wheels gallery thread (check it if you haven't already, lots of nice wheels there), but I haven't seen a similar one for 9G, so here it is (and it is not limited to just aftermarket wheels).
If you want to show (off) your wheels or you've...

I know there are a few posts on this already but I thought I should share my experience.
I finally managed to purchase and install the Eibach Pro-kit on my pre-facelift 9th gen. Somehow I ordered the kit made for 8th gen and I only realized after the install (Long story as to how that mistake...
